The Editor received th efollowing email Sunday Aug 18, 2013:

It is with a great sense of loss, but also with gratitude for his service, that I announce that Rabbi Larry Pinsker will be leaving the New Shul effective this High Holiday season, in order to accept a position in Baltimore. I wish him safe travels on this next part of his life’s journey. Winnipeg is losing a gifted rabbi and a wonderful individual, who has done much for the Winnipeg Jewish community in his time here.
 
It is therefore my sad duty, after careful consideration among the board, to announce that we will not be holding formal High Holiday services this year. At the current time, we are contemplating how best to go forward after the High Holidays. There has been interest expressed in holding regular lay-led Shabbat morning services twice per month. In addition, our family-friendly Sukkot potluck dinner is going forward on September 22^nd at 4pm. All are welcome.
 
Please feel free to email me at [email protected] for further information.
